MoSsTROIs FIGURES.

The Proteclionists of New England in
old times managed to institute a scheme
by which the rest of the country was
made 10 buy their manufactures 10 the
exclusion Of the same articles from
abroad. The alleged infant industries
have grown into giant monopolies, but
they are still called by that pretty fond
ling pet name in order 10 perpetuate the
wrong on the American people, and lay
tribute on every citizen not for a tax to
carry on the government, but to foster
home manufactures. The system was
considered unjust long ago, when in 1860
the average duty was less than 10 per
cent.
During the war the average duty was
pushed up to something over 81 per cent,
which rate has been understood as a war
rate.
AT present the average duty is ~ per
cent, and the collections about 10000
900 more each year than they were just
after the close Of the war.
1t only needs to add to this simple ar
ray of figures the amount of the surplus
which in next June, under the present
system, will be $4,000, 900 for one year.
No scheme that points merely 20 the
reduction of this amount in the Treasury
will be satisfactory unless the reduction
Is in collection instead Of by spending.
The people ale not after paying useless
taxes to be squandered, for that puts the
odious tribute to monopoly In the worst
light.
What Is needed is the practical and just
method Of reducing the taxes on neces-
saries of life, and in doing so TO accomplish
the great benefit of opening all the mark
cts of the world to American enterprise,
and thereby establishing commerce pro-
portionate TO the wants and capacities
of our people The time has passed
when people can be cajoled with cry
about protecting labor when all the time
II Is protecting favored class Of rich
people.
Let it be repeated and repeated until
the plain truth is understood, that what
labor and capital both want is enough
raw material TO work on at prices that
other countries get it at, so that we will
be on equal terms with the rest of the
world, and with the advantage of our
superior enterprise and skin.

The pure profile picture, by the way, is
A very rare thing. a person can get
profile taken if he brings with him help
enough to overpOwer the photographer
but no camera man who has liberty will
allow a sitter to pose for a profile picture.
The photographers seem az much set
against that as against the full face. The
reason seems to be that il they succeed IN
getting the nose in focus the ear, which
is some inches nearer the instrument, Will
be out OF focus and will also be too large.
Now, nobody likes TO have Lis nose made
larger than il ought to be. but he stu
more strongly objects to appear in pic

necessary. In other words, man hates
